map makers

Hi all i have a map suggestion.The map I was wondering if anyone can make is kind of like the map dod_trenchfield2.
Heres how the map would go
The Axis would spawn on top of a hill and the Brittish would spawn in a trench on the other side of the map.
First I'll explain the brittish objectives and other stuff. First they would go out of the trench and head into nomans land. no mans land would look kinda like a beach that same kind of color, with the barrackades that look kind of like x's there would be some fox holes and some places to take cover like in some rubble. there would also be some sniper plates.At the end of no mans land would be a flag that takes two people to capture.
Last they would head in to a forest. The forest goes up hill pretty far untill it gets to the axis spawn. In the forest are lots of trees and bushes. Can you make there be some tree forts for snipers. There could be some good mg spots too.
At the top of the hill where the axis spawn is. There would be a flag that takes 2 people to capture too and lots of fox holes and mortars that would hit nomans land.Can you make mortars hit nomans land like on dod_charlie where you can use the mortar your self or mortars would hit automatically too.
For the axis they would head down the hill and into no mans land and try to capture the middle flag then go past no mans land and take the flag by the brittish spawn. That flag will also take 2 people to capture. Whoever takes all three flags first wins.
Tell me if this would be better though there would be no flags. only 2 artillery guns at the top of the hill. the brittish would have to destroy the 2 guns before 10 min is up and the axis would have to defeand for 10 min. tell me which is better and if you can make it.
P.S. I am sorry about how rude and demanding I was on my first post (map makers pls read!!!) and ginger lord if I was god i woud give you your 10 minutes back!!!
thank you all for your time.

Its a rule though, and the fact you a aware of this and still making another thread is kinda bad. now your idea i think since you seem to have an image in your head you should perhaps have a go at making it yourself? I dont know why more people dont have a go at mapping it isnt too hard to learn the basics and from there you can develop some skill ;)

for me it seems like everytime a new map idea thread shows up, it is dicussed by a small amount of people, 50% of the replies are >"post this in map ideas thread please!" ... even if the idea gets some feedback the threads always die after a short time because nobody wants to map somebody else idea -_- ... most of teh mappers have their own ideas or are working on something - it's really the best if you learn mapping :kitty:

devil just nailed the point on the head so to say.

Mappers won't just make your map for you if you post a thread in here asking for a map to be made. Either you have to learn to map yourself or befriend a mapper and see what they say when you ask them

But just asking in here won't get you anywhere at ALL!

i know your not a fan of reading but if you actually take time to look there is a tutorials/Q&A forum above the main mapping forum. it can also be found HERE (http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=41)

if you have trouble reading the thread names there is an awesome little thread entitled "Mapping FAQ" this is a good place to start, it can be found HERE (http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=100)

VoodooChild also did a helpful little thread on getting started in mapping this thread can be found HERE (http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=28785)

any question you have direct to the Tutorials forum please, there are plenty of people willing to help you on your way - just dont give up when things get tough :P

obligatory parrot :PARROT: hmm and another one :PARROT:

also there is an edit button you know.

TBH you doesn't have to learn mapping and do it all by yourself. I think some mappers could work on it, but many ideas looking good "ona paper" work bad in gameplay. Anyway, if you could make textures or models, more mappers would be interested in cooperation.
